Yu-Na Kim

Hi. I enjoy many of the topics here but limit myself to lurking as I am not very knowledgeable. But I have enjoyed watching women's figure skating for quite a few decades but only lately anything other than the Olympics. Yuna changed that for me...but anyway, the final scene from film Fearless; the music for this scene is from Henryk Gorecki's Symphony #3 (Symphony of Sorrowful Songs). www.youtube.com/watch?v=U1NhUSpCJsQ If anyone could skate to this it would be her. Thanks for reading.

According to lakewood over at YNKF, Yuna just returned to Korea after spending 2 and half weeks working on her LP in Canada with David Wilson, and after a little bit of training in LA. Apparently, the LP is done. (No idea what that brief detour to LA was for...) .

I was watching some Youtube videos of her singing on stage and the one thing that stood out for me is her body; her carriage. She is a beautiful woman but though she looks like an artist on blades when she skates, when she sings I can see the athlete.
She sounds so much like Taeyeon (and looks like she could break Taeyeon in half if she wanted to)! I also love her off-ice physicality, she MOVES like a top athlete.

I was just thinking recently, what will Yuna do for 2018 since the Olympics will be in S. Korea?

She has said she will retire after the Sochi Olympics next year, and I believe her. But there will be tremendous pressure on her to skate at the Olympics in her home country. It seems to me like Yuna will not want this pressure at all, so I really do believe she will not compete at Pyeongchang ... but could it be possible for her to skate during the opening ceremonies? That could be the best way for her to still be involved, she might even light the torch as well.
